# Overview
This repository is for the pre-print:
*Scandola M, Tidoni E. The development of a standard procedure for the optimal reliability-feasibility trade-off in Multilevel Linear Models analyses in Psychology and Neuroscience. **PsyArXiv**, https://psyarxiv.com/kfhgv.*
This repository contains all scripts for the simulations to reproduce our results, the resulting csv files, and some preliminary computations done in excel files (see the README file).
# 01_Simulations
In this folder each subfolder contains the scripts for the simulations for the different scenarios.
* fHO_rHO_LC: homeskedastic fixed and random effects, low correlation ($\rho = 0.2$) among random effects
* fHO_rHO_HC: homeskedastic fixed and random effects, high correlation ($\rho = 0.8$) among random effects
* fHE_rHO_LC: heteroskedastic fixed and homoskedastic random effects, low correlation among random effects
* fHE_rHO_HC: heteroskedastic fixed and homoskedastic random effects, high correlation among random effects
* fHO_rHE_LC: homoskedastic fixed and heteroskedastic random effects, low correlation among random effects
* fHO_rHE_HC: homoskedastic fixed and heteroskedastic random effects, high correlation among random effects
* fHO_rHO_LC_buildmer: homeskedastic fixed and random effects, low correlation among random effects, model fitting executed by using the _buildmer_ package
* fHO_rHO_LCcomp: homeskedastic fixed and random effects, low correlation among random effects, post-hoc computations executed by means of _emmeans_ package
# 02_Reanalyses
In this folder there are the scripts used in the **Reanalyses of Singmann & Klauer (2011, Exp. 2) using different random effects structures** section of the main text.
